Festival honoree, award-winning, best-selling novelist and memoirist Amy Tan will be at the Festival on Saturday, October 12, participating with Mark Childress in “A Conversation with Amy Tan” and giving a reading from her work after accepting the Fitzgerald Award.

Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival is co-sponsored by the City of Rockville and the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Conference, Inc., a non-profit corporation. It has for 23 years held this event, which seeks to honor the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and those of prominent American literary artists; and to support, encourage, and assist aspiring and emerging writers and students interested in the literary arts. Originally a one-day event, the Festival now includes programs on three days.
